St. George's Day Pagent
St. George rides onto the scene to discover the dragon about to eat the Princess.
"Stop!" he cries.
The dragon is distracted and the Princess runs to safety as the dragon turns its attention on to St. George.
It breathes out fiery breath but misses the nimble rider.
St. George advances with his lance ready.
He skewers the dragon slaying him on the spot.
Then St. George and his horse take the Princess home.

This is so much fun Caroline, certainly your best work ever ;o)
Its so clever I can almost see the animated version popping up on youtube!!
I like a happy ending.
What a great story. And a Dalek! YAY.
The BEST version of St. George's tale ever! Did you have fun, Caro? :-D
Jo - thank you - as I've now reached my peak I can relax!
Ian - the dalek would have liked one too....
Tony - glad you appreciated my dragon player!
GG - thank you and yes I did!
Heh heh, good fun Caroline! Have you tried the movie poster feature at flicker? This would be perfect.
Steve - I hadn't thought of that - maybe a bit late now though...
Brilliant! I can see this becoming a successful TV series or cartoon strip.
Reluctant Nomad - thank you. The actors will all be happy to send out signed photos - except the Dalek who no doubt would send out singed ones...
Applause! Applause!!
Ladybird gave a magnificent performance, and Dalek was quite convincing as the dragon. Little cow and horse turned in subtle yet moving performances, in their supporting roles.
I was on the edge of my seat - thank heavens there was a happy ending.
I give this post two thumbs up!
:-)
Tinker thank you - they are all bowing now - oops the dalek fell over again - its not very good at bowing - there is up again and just waving its plunger now!
Love it, Caro.
You are wa too funny!
we all need a knight like st. george!
You've been so quiet over here. Holidaying? I have visited this sequence of fun several times now. Makes me smile.
EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE! DALEKS HAVE NO NEED FOR PRINCESSES! ROFLMAO- I love you!
